Hennessy Hammock, the Ultimate Survival/Bug Out Shelter?

[Ebrueckmann]

I made a hammock out of a boat cover back in high school for a week long camping trip. It worked but wasn't the most comfortable thing ever.

true. But I usually set my tent away from a tree. A ridgeline or a tarp over the hammock would protect if not cushin the fall or dead branches.

good point!

A ridgeline or tarp will NOT provide protection from anything big enough to seriously hurt or kill you. If that was the case, a tent would provide adequate protection too.

I'd hate to see someone not pay attention to what's above them and have something tragic happen.
